The Pulse of Entertainment: ‘Blinded by the Light’ an Inspirational Ode to Bruce Springsteen’s Music

Viveik Kalra is Javed in the Warner Bros/New Line Cinema presentation of Blinded by the Light.

*So realistic is the true story of a Bruce Springsteen fan, the Warner Bros/New Line Cinema presentation of Blinded by the Light inspires. Arriving in theatres August 16, 2019, Blinded by the Light stars Viveika Kalra as Javed – a Pakistani-British teen poetically inspired by the lyrics and music of Bruce Springsteen. Javed is so inspired by the newfound music and lyrics of Bruce Springsteen that it becomes the turning-point in his life as he tries to find his place in the world.

The realistic feel of Blinded by the Light is thanks to the excellent acting of all under the direction of Gurinder Chadha. Aaron Phagura plays Roops the classmate who introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteen.  The two teens struggle in the Luton, England neighborhood that is full of racism and economic turmoil. The lyrics of Springsteen’s songs gave them the vision and inspiration to find their voice.

The climax in Blinded by the Light is how Javed, who lives in a traditional Pakistani-Muslim home, managed to do that. Kulvinder Ghir excellently plays the stubborn Pakistani-Muslim dad whose dominant role in the family is threatened with a lay-off. Hayley Atwell plays Ms. Clay his teacher who falls in love with his poetry and helps him find his place in the world as a writer – something that goes against what his father wants for him.
